Pastor Jessie Adams Senior and Dad We Honor and Salute you on this day of November 1, 2020,
For we know it is God who knows everything about us and has a plan for our lives before we came out our mother's womb and gently guides us through the wilderness and storms of life as he orders our steps.
Those who have been around you more than 30 minutes also know that God had sent you all over the world and you have encountered many people throughout your travels but we are grateful and appreciative you were a part of our lives.
As a solider in the Army, A husband, A Dad, A Grandpa, A Brother, An Uncle, A Cousin, A Brother-in-law, A Spiritual Father, A Friend and yes even a Great Great Grandpa; you have left an everlasting impression on our lives that we will never forget. For with military precision, you held down the fort, stood in the gap, and pressed your way through the 90 years that you were given but in your most cherished role as a Pastor is where your story is told.
Your love for the church and doing the will of your heavenly Father was your first love and lifting up the name of Jesus which has grabbed his heart and as he welcomed you into his loving arms he whispered, "Well Done my good and faithful servant, well done son".
The Lord has been honored by your service and care of his flock and we are thankful that you did get to see some of the fruit of your labor with your own eyes before you departed. "Rest mighty solider until we meet again" around the supper table of our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father.
I Thessalonians 1:3: Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, And patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father.
From Your Daughter Anna and Son Jessie Jr. Adams (We kept our Promise to you and Mom the best way we knew how).
